Hurricane Harvey, which made landfall Friday night as a Category 4, has caused catastrophic damage, flooding and more to hard-hit parts of Texas. With winds up to 130 miles per hour, the "major weather event" has also been responsible for a handful of deaths so far.

On Monday, as the storm weakened and moved up through the state, the extent of the storm's destruction emerged on social media. In light of the devastating impact, one Instagrammer is going viral for his funny and creative way to transport his puppy.

Manuel's puppy Kiwi was too little to brave Harvey's rising flood waters, so he made the pup a boat out of a bucket. In the Instagram post, Kiwi can be seen happily braving the flood waters in his red bucket, assisted by his owner splashing around in rain boots.

Damage is seen in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey August 26, 2017 in Katy, Texas.
Hurricane Harvey stalled over central Texas on Saturday, August 26, 2017, raising fears of 'catastrophic' flooding after the megastorm -- the most powerful to hit the United States since 2005 -- left a deadly trail of devastation along the Gulf Coast. The latest forecasts show that Harvey, now downgraded to tropical storm status, will hover along the shore for the next four or five days, dumping massive amounts of rain.
